In a night of honour and reward for deserving member organisations, Dangote Group emerged top, carting away the award in the ‘Resilience and Sustainable Growth’ category, while its subsidiary, Dangote Cement Plc was named the “Best Company in the Chemical and Non-Metallic Products Sector” during the 2022 Employers Annual Excellence Award held in  Lagos recently.

The Dangote Group also got a special Plaque as one of the sponsors of the third edition of the NECA 2022 Annual Employers’ Excellence Award. The Dangote Group had won an award as the best company in the Chemical and Non-Metallic Products sector in the 2021 edition.

Former chairman of Nestle Nigeria Plc, Chief Olusegun Osunkeye was the second personality given special recognition and honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the well-attended event.

Speaking while presenting Aliko Dangote’s Lifetime Achievement Award to the Dangote team, former president of NECA and industrialist, Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa said, the citation of the business tycoon, which was read out to the warm applause of the participants, was only to fulfil all righteousness, as the name of Dangote looms larger than life for his exemplary works.
